Whenever you send your money away
from home to pay for thing you can buy,
OF equally as good quality, and equally as
cheap, at home, you are doing that which
retards the growth and prosperity Of your
immediate neighborhood. Spend your mon
ey at home and it will circulate at home,
and come back to you again. Mon
ey at home means ability to buy cheap, and
to lift Indebtedness
The chain gang is not the only place
where the lash is laid on severely. A negro
woman, last week, stripped little boy of his
clothing and proceeded to punish him for
disobedence. The screams of the child
were heart-rending. AS he cried for mercy,
we learn, she would smother his voice, and
then directly she would ply the lash again.
Such inhuman conduct ought to be punish
ed by the strong hand of the law.
